I'm going to ASD and I'm planning on asking if I can score higher if I can get another increase in scholarship
14:17
I negotiated from 90-135-150 which I’m grateful for but I still feel screwed because first year is 66 and expected to climb almost 5% the following year and I’m sure the following plus interest rates . Ugh I wanna rip my hair out
14:17
I felt so close and now yet so far
14:17
I don’t feel like I can ask again at this point
14:55
Hey, looking to hear others thoughts on this decision- Hofstra is offering a full conditional scholarship and seton hall is offering 150k non conditional. With tuition hikes , I’d prob end owing 45-50k so I’m currently looking into outside scholarships that don’t look so promising. I’m interested in criminal law although that can change. I’d love to be a trial lawyer at one point. Seton is slightly closer to me in distance. Also I’m old. So def don’t wanna rack up debt unless it’s worth it. With a few more $$ I can prob pay off seton while attending. Can’t make up my mind. Thoughts?
@Whataremychances: I was able to renegotiate multiple times, but made sure to maintain a respectful tone
@Journey37: I would reach out to Dean Issa and ask to appeal your scholarship. Worst she can say is no.
22:25
@EducationandHardwork: thank u! Maybe I’ll try one more time. She’s extremely helpful. I thought I was good with their last offer until I realized I had the cost of school wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️
22:26
Has anyone had any success trying to get outside scholarships

@EducationandHardwork: thanks, I did reach out again. They made it 35k a year, non conditional, and then today I got an email saying it's their final offer and that scholarships are getting more competitive:(

I've been very respectful and grateful for all they've offered till now in my letters, but realistically, I can't afford it on those terms. Rutgers has offered me a much better deal.
why is auwcl ghosting me on a merit scholarship

Has anyone created an admitted students chat ?

Is anyone going to Seton planning to work in criminal defense ?
@Journey37: There is a facebook group for students that have submitted their first deposit.
12:25
So I sent another appeal and they haven’t gotten back to me it’s been over a week
12:25
My deposit is due may 1st but I’m just gonna withdraw and go to Rutgers kinda ridiculous they never replied to my emails

Seton is being erratic and untimely with scholarship appeals, IME
20:47
They just responded after I sent an email. They changed my scholarship from conditional to unconditional with an extra 3k a year
20:47
I pretty much have decided on Rutgers I just really can't beat the price difference.
20:48
Or I should say I can't justify the extra ~25k a year
Whataremychances
20:59
Can I ask how much Rutgers is offering you a year?
1:27
14k
1:27
